About This Home
Set just moments from Ridgefield's town center, this classic farmhouse with a separate cottage offers a rare blend of charm, flexibility, and location. A welcoming front porch overlooks open, level grounds with a garden-like setting that feels both peaceful and picturesque. Inside, the main home is bright and inviting, anchored by a large eat-in kitchen featuring a center island, extensive cabinetry, and lovely views of the outdoor entertaining areas and yard. The kitchen connects easily to the dining area and adjacent family room, creating a natural flow for gatherings or everyday living. The main level also includes a foyer, full bath, and a sunlit bonus room-ideal as a home office, den, or optional fourth bedroom-enhanced by a new sliding door. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms share a full bath, and a walk-up attic provides excellent potential for future expansion. The primary residence offers approximately 1,639 square feet, complemented by a detached 660-square-foot cottage that opens the door to multiple uses: guest house, in-law accommodation, or income-producing rental. Whether owner-occupied or fully leased, the options here are compelling. The property has been thoughtfully updated with a new 6-bedroom septic system, upgraded electrical service to the cottage with fresh interior paint throughout, and a new range, microwave and dishwasher in the main residence. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac off Mary's Lane, 159 Barry Avenue delivers privacy wi
